<p>Being OSS, your application needs to be near Ivy League caliber, especially if you want to do finance at McCombs (only 220 OSS admits in 2009). Your SAT I scores are good and hopefully you have high grades in AP classes. Make sure your essays are articulate and unique and you’ll stand a chance (the topics are already available).</p>
<p>Remember, 75% of all admissions at UT are reserved for Top 8% TX applicants. The remaining 25% are reserved for non-Top 8%, non-ranking, OSS, and foreigners. The process admits those remaining applicants in a competitive process which gives each person a score based on rank, essays, honors/awards, leadership activities, community service, test scores, and special circumstances. Also, there is no ED at UT, but applying early always helps.</p>
<p>Overall it is tough to make it into UT OSS, but you do have chance. Good Luck!..</p>
